I had been trying for hours to add the new Pinterest widget to my blog and was failing MISERABLY until I found this step-by-step tutorial over at Code it Pretty. I got it to work in 5 minutes! And look how pretty it is! See...over there? ----> All my newest pins for you to see! Please follow me and leave your profile so I can follow you! I always love new crafty ideas!

Like my previous post stated, I am awful at keeping track of my kids milestones, but thanks to Cool Mom Picks I found these adorable milestone charts by Strange Birdy Studios, which make me want to do it! Wouldn't it look perfect framed in a nursery? Love!

Lil' miss is starting to get teeth and gets great enjoyment out of biting me! Mean baby. I am awful about keeping track of dates, so when I saw this adorable printable tooth chart on pinterest I HAD to get it! Thanks Turtle Soup, my daughter will appreciate this someday!

I have {tried} to keep up reading my favorite crafty blogs while I have been MIA, but seeing how perfect everyone seemed while I was having a tough time made me feel awful. I know that wasn't anyone's intention, but I am going to strive to not do that. My life is so far from perfect and the majority of my projects are awful! My house is a mess, my kids are wild and I end up have breakfast for dinner often because by the end of the day I am plain exhausted. I am going to strive to keep this blog real and share the bad along with the good. So here is the first installment of 'Friday Fail'. My behind the scenes - it's a mess, but I am very thankful to have it.

Remember friends: no one is perfect, their highlight reels just look like it. Link to your realities!

Since I hope to bring this little blog back to life I will need great photos. I have had photoshop for years and have ZERO idea how to use it! Thankfully, Somewhat Simple has a tutorial series for beginners! Yay!

How many times am I allowed to say that I am going to start blogging again before it's just sad? I swear I am going to try! I have so many tutorials that I owe y'all and that I am planning on doing! I blame these monkeys...
